Government interference in a private enterprise has occurred as long the game has been played. Baseball and its fans can manage without politicans.

Major League Baseball has enjoyed exemptions from various Federal Laws for many years. MLB is engaged in interstate commerce, and with Toronto in the AL, plus playing games in foreign countries, is also involved in international commerce.Originally posted by LouGehrig View Post

the majority of people when asked say they do not like government intervention...yet when in doubt they go for the government for help. as a somewhat liberal person I am not totally against government intervention...my problem is that people are not educated enough to really know what it means.
the common man does it a lot, but so do the wealthiest corporations with their corporate welfare.
baseball does not want the government messing with them, but if they were going under they sure as heck would go to the government for help."Batting stats and pitching stats do not indicate the quality of play, merely which part of that struggle is dominant at the moment."
